Yes, try connecting directly with an Ethernet cable. A dynamic IP address is fine so addresses starting with 10 or 5 should not cause an issue.

Ok, I've changed the IP address, but the only other one available to select is of the form 10.*.*.*, which doesn't seem long enough. I had this same connection problem before I downloaded Hamachi as well, and changing the IP address back again doesn't seem to have worked ☹️.
Perhaps the default IP address should be different? I'm not sure how to get a different one, if that's even possible.
Community ManagerAre you connecting from a college or corporate network? These tend to have IPs that start with 10. If so, you may need to contact your local LAN administrator for help.

Thanks for your post.
The network is privately owned, but several computers are using the same modem and router. The other day the IP address was more like I would expect, of the form 172.**.***.*, but now it's back to a choice of 10.*.*.* and 5.**.***.**. None of the other computers on this connection play CnC or any other online games, as far as I'm aware.
If this is a problem with multiple terminals using one modem, can it be resolved? And could it explain the ability to connect to a very small proportion of players online but no-one else?
I could try connecting my computer directly to the ethernet cable from the modem and seeing if that helps. In the mean time, skirmishes with the AI it is.

I connected directly with the ethernet cable and it worked perfectly. However, the problem persists when using the WiFi. Are there any settings I can change (I do not have network administrator priveliges) that might help, or is it a problem with the servers or other users?
